What to Expect

What to Expect on Your First Visit

If you've never been to see a doctor of chiropractic before, you may
have questions about what to expect. If you're familiar with
chiropractic care but are seeking a new doctor, you may wonder what
makes Etheredge Chiropractic special. Simply put, our doctors and staff
go out of their way to treat you with the greatest respect and
understanding possible. We don't rush through your consultation, but
rather use this valuable time to really get to know you, your health
history and discuss with you your symptoms and treatment options, so
that you always feel like a partner in your treatment, and never like
just another patient.

If your history and symptoms suggest that chiropractic care is the
appropriate course of treatment, your doctor will give you a thorough,
yet gentle, examination to help isolate the cause of your symptoms.
Your exam may include testing your reflexes, mobility, muscle weakness,
misalignment and other relevant bodily functions. If necessary, your
doctor and you may decide an X-ray, MRI, CT or NCV scan, or a
diagnostic ultrasound will offer more complete information.

Your
doctor will then discuss with you his findings in plain, easy to
understand terms and recommend treatment options, including what you
can expect going forward. Your doctor will always keep you informed and
fully involved in your therapy so that you can work together to restore
and maintain your optimum health.
